Here's an idea! You could start three more threads like:

What is the funniest thing the government has ever said?

What is the scariest thing the government has ever said?

What is the most profound thing the government has ever said?

That might help to maximize the flag count! And in each thread, you could intermittently insert references to your running flag count on the other threads. Just a suggestion!

To the best of my knowledge humans are the only species that bow to a fictional organization made up of nothing more than words on paper.

Edit: You know people obey the fictional rules in the game of Monopoly because it's fun. If it's not fun you stop playing.
